One Of The FIRST Lake Anna Snakehead Caught

[@Juanelo1946]

G, Lake Anna looks like a peaceful piece of paradise.Those snakehead just look so vicious, yet beautifully patterned. I hope that their spread can be controlled. It would be terrible to see the native species pushed out. It's a lot like the situation we have around the Great Lakes of invasive Asian Carp. Fascinating conversation you were having about them. You caught some really nice bass and that was fun to see. Incessant rains and muddy water have really put the kibosh on my fishing this weekend. Great show my friend!

[@gmanlipripper]

yes sir it is. man here on the east coast they will be in every major body of water.

Visiting VA last year from San Diego, I caught a snake head. My parents live here and I fished a golf course that my pops is a member of. Top water frog and BOOM. Amazing fish.

Gman you were brave to bring that beast aboard. A friend and I were bass fishing in NE Arkansas many years ago and caught a bunch of big ones. They hit everything we used, tore up lures, sawed through line with those wicked teeth and thrashed around in the jon boat like rabid prehistoric monsters (which they are). Thus I'm not a big fan of "Mr. Smiley." Glad you found some decent bass. Don

[@gmanlipripper]

they are loose cannons thats for sure. next thing you know they freak out. they are fun and tasty

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

IMO Snakeheads are here to stay and don't have as bad as an impact on the native fish populations as everyone thinks. Like you said largemouth and smallmouth bass are all over the country and in many areas they were introduced there, not native. Snakehead have just become part of the ecosystem in many water bodies and they are not as destructive as people think. Also, they are an awesome game fish that I think will bring a lot of fun to the freshwater fishing industries. Also, can you clarify that blue/yellow crankbait you were using? My favorite color cranks are blues and yellows lol.

[@gmanlipripper]

yup they are. super fun to catch. and tasty. it is literally called XCITE not 100% where I got it.

[@DropShotPete]

Nice catch, they fight hard, good eating

[@gmanlipripper]

yes sir. thanks for watching.

[@benstonefishing]

They look like a lot of fun to catch.

[@gmanlipripper]

they are fighters.

[@TexasRigged]

beautiful fish!!!!

[@gmanlipripper]

yeah buddy.

[@WaynJul]

Did you just make a referral to Star Trek? You caught all kinds of nice bass. I have no comment on invasive species since our Texas Parks and Wild Life Department made a mess out of our marine resources.

[@gmanlipripper]

lol. yeah that stinks they are lax down there.

[@sharpnr445]

was that snakehead caught on the warm side?

[@madmattfishing]

🔥🔥👊🏼👊🏼

[@gmanlipripper]

thanks for watching.

[@bradleyreams1026]

You seen anymore ?

[@bassinwithmason]

What do you guys do with him I hope you didn’t put him back in the lake because we have a lake house by rock land creek and some of the fisherman don’t know what to did with snake Head and put back in water which is dumb and wrong those things can over populate like hell

[@DC-rp3gv]

Where on lake anna did you catch that snakehead?

[@gmanlipripper]

in the water haha. jk. on the cold side north Anna. not really sure the spot dont fish there enough.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

@@gmanlipripper lol riiiiight. Aka your secret spot! 😉

[@christopherpcreation]

Nice lure grab

[@gmanlipripper]

glad I got it back. thanks for watching.

[@bobbreckenkamp4641]

Let's see....here's a fish that gets 20lbs+; fights it's ass off; bites readily on a variety of baits; tastes great........hell, what's not to like. Bring them on and let the best fish win.

[@gmanlipripper]

yes yes yes and yes. oh if you're on the east coast within 5 years they will be in every major body of water in my opinion. because of all the exact reasons you mentioned. they are to fun to catch and people want to fish them without driving 2 or more hrs. thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe for more and be safe.

[@oldandintheway9805]

They say snakeheads can travel overland. I doubted that until I saw two of them hitch hiking on Rt 95 along the Potomac. Bring em on!!!

[@anglingnvirginia1346]

No that would kill our lake!

[@bassinwithmason]

Yes sir
